It can be exhausting nursing a child through a nasty bout with the flu, so imagine how 22-year-old Fatu Kekula felt nursing her entire family through Ebola.

CNN reports: Her father. Her mother. Her sister. Her cousin. Fatu took care of them all, single-handedly feeding them, cleaning them and giving them medications.

And she did so with remarkable success. Three out of her four patients survived. That’s a 25% death rate — considerably better than the estimated Ebola death rate of 70%.

Fatu stayed healthy, which is noteworthy considering that more than 300 health care workers have become infected with Ebola, and she didn’t even have personal protection equipment — those white space suits and goggles used in Ebola treatment units.

The Lagos State Coroner investigating the cause of the collapse of a six-storey building at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Ikotun, has directed the church to give the state’s pathologist a copy of the manifest of the people inside the building when it caved in.

Coroner Oyetade Komolafe gave the directive yesterday at the church during a visit to the scene, following the inavailability of a list containing the names of victims and survivors of the September 12 mishap. No fewer than 115 bodies, mostly South Africans, were recovered from the debris of the building with 131 persons reportedly rescued alive.
TheNation reports that however, there was a disagreement as to whether or not the pathologist needs the list to do his job, with the church’s lawyer, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, stating that DNA samples had been taken over two weeks ago.

Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan says no President or governor of any state should claim credit for containing the deadly Ebola virus in Nigeria. He says the credit should be given to Nigerians who cooperated while the epidermic was at rampage. President Jonathan said this yesterday October 16th while receiving heads of a charity foundation at the state house in Abuja

"I am quiet pleased with what is happening because I believe that government alone cannot solve human problems and anything done by government when you involve the private sector and civil societies, it is always better.

There are success cases. The most recent is our ability to manage Ebola. The key thing that made Nigeria a success is the buying by the ordinary Nigerians.

SARKIN Hausawa of Lagos, Alhaji Sani Kabir, yesterday, told the Federal Government that northerners in the South West have arrested more than 1,000 members of the Boko Haram insurgents in parts of the South West.

Speaking when the Arewa Council of Chiefs in the South West paid a visit to the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, in Abuja, Alhaji Kabir said the arrests were made at different times.

He said that those arrested were Boko Haram members who fled from the Civilian JTF/military onslaught on the insurgents in the North East and those who came to the South West to further the insurgency.

Kabir said the Council has taken it upon itself to ensure that Boko Haram did not take root in the South West because according to him, such a development would complicate the security challenges facing Nigeria.

Unlike others who have boasted in the past that they charge, N3m, N5m and even N10m for shows and nothing less than that. Tuface while chatting with reporters from Vanguard said he has no fixed price for shows.

‘I don’t have a particular fixed fee, it depends on the kind of show and what it is all about.’

He also spoke about how he handles female fans and how he politely tells them off without making them upset;

A few weeks ago, rumours that Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda, had started making moves to reunite with her former husband, Dejo Richards.

Monalisa's marriage to Dejo Richards had packed up few years ago due to some irreconcilable differences. While she alleged that Dejo physically abused her in the marriage, those in her ex-huband's camp alleged that she caused the seperation. So, the reconciliation story was that, following pressures from her friends, relations and close associates, she had decided to end her relationship with a wealthy socialite and reconcile with her ex.

In an interview with Sunnewsonline where he shared his opinion on the current state of the Nigerian music industry, Reggae legend Ras Kimono said the current Nigerian music artistes are doing worse than Majek Fashek. According to him, there is nothing to celebrate in an artiste who releases just a single and declares himself a superstar. He says back in his days, they produced 12-tracked albums for their listeners who would then determine how many of the songs in the albums were hit songs. He says things have changed.

He also said most of the hip-hop stars today smoke and drink to stupor because they think that it is a way of being inspired. He warned that they should be careful about indulging in such as the Nigerian music industry gives an artiste only one chance and that once an African artiste falls, he is dead and buried.

A 32-year-old man, Mr. Terkura Iorpuu, was on Thursday arraigned before a chief magistrate’s court in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, for raping and infecting two young girls with HIV.

Veteran actress Clarion Chukwurah in a new interview with PUNCH described the rush, especially by Nollywood practitioners, to join partisan politics as sheer hypocrisy. According to her, some artistes want to go into politics because they are not getting much money from their vocations. Clarion told Punch:

The motive of those who are embracing partisan politics is purely monetary. Let us call a spade a spade. If you tell me that you want to go into politics to serve the people, I would want to look at your record first.
